Check this sound out. This is some heavy hitting fat shit. Dark and furious jungle – really bites and cuts like a motherfucker. At least this is how track one starts the disc off, and then when you think you’re listening to a purely electric piece, along comes a perfectly matched trumpet dubbed out with some mutes and effects. Dark, dark, heavy trance-like effects produced from intensive stereo separation of effects and heavy slamming mountain-grown bass beats. But it’s not too fast like some hyper-violent jungle projects. No spine tensing. This groove has SOUL. Thick, like mashed potatoes, nice jungle beats with effects and scratches by DJ Spooky and female vocal action by Page Hamilton. Totally something that will help your body rock your soul and mind. Enjoy.
